It looms over me
Casting its enormous shadow
It stains everything I do
With its ebony luminescence
And though I try and escape
It wraps me in its embrace once more
Enveloping my hopes and dreams
In its ever expansive wings
It saps my will and my strength
And makes me swoon away with its warmth
I try and defy Fate
I try and etch a new destiny
But perhaps we are meant to be together
Perhaps this cycle is meant to last
Resigned to this road I might be
But still I struggle with all my might
For as sweet as the embrace may be
Stronger yet is the rending of the heart
Perhaps this cycle is eternal
Perhaps the end is in sight
Will I be granted a release?
Or will Fate's plot shine?
Will I leave the embrace with a smile?
Or will the rending take from me piece by piece
Till I am another mindless soul
Lost to the stains of time?
And as I always do
I throw up my sails once more
Hoping the waves carry me to shore
Away from the fatal embrace
To a paradise yet unknown
